Highlights

Kaunas is like a younger brother of Vilnius. Sometimes it seems to be in the shadows of the capital. But make no mistake - this is a superficial paradigm – Kaunas is a very vivid both in history and now:culture is thriving, and it’s always been the innovator vs Vilnius – same 100 years ago – same it is now. See the city and some top sights around, that are usually skipped by others. Main locations: Kaunas Old Town, Kaunas New Town, Zaliakalnis district HIGHLIGHTS:  • See castles and streets of medieval ages • Adore modern architecture of early 20th century • Get a picturesque ride in the oldest Europe's funicular • Enjoy panoramic views from the church observation deck

About Vilnius

Vilnius is Lithuania's capital, a baroque old town of church towers and courtyards, with a hilltop castle tower and a university founded in 1579.

Vilnius has one of the largest surviving medieval old towns in eastern Europe, a World Heritage site of cobbled lanes, courtyards and dozens of churches, most in baroque style. Gediminas Tower, the remnant of the upper castle, looks over the roofs from a hill, and the neoclassical cathedral stands in the square below. Vilnius University, founded in 1579, has a cluster of courtyards, and the Gate of Dawn holds an icon revered by Catholics and Orthodox believers.

Top-ranked sights in Vilnius: Gate of Dawn (Ausros Vartai), Vilnius University (Vilniaus Universitetas), Vilnius Old Town (Vilniaus Senamiestis).
